The Cardinals' season-opening five-game winning streak is their longest since SMU opened the 1999 season with a seven-game run. … SMU has not allowed a goal since the 29:40 mark of its 2-1 win over Marian a span of 330:20 minutes. … Four of SMU's five wins have been by one goal including three 1-0 affairs. … Jennifer Johnson (Racine, Wis.) the Cardinals' starting goalkeeper who has already posted three shutouts this season gave SMU all the offense it would need in Sunday's win over Benedictine, scoring her first goal of the season. … Bridgette Baggio (Glenview, Ill.) tallied her first two collegiate goals in SMU's 4-0 win over Ripon, while Nadia Effendi (St. Paul, Minn.) netted the first of her SMU career in Saturday's 1-0 win over North Central.
